Patent CA-2639527-C (CA)
Inventor: WINSOR ROBERT SCOTT
IPC: G02B15/00

Granted: 2013-11-19
Abstract: A security camera system according to present invention embodiments includes a telephoto type lens with one or more factors of optical zoom. A set of prisms that steer incoming beams from the surrounding environment (to adjust the field of view) is disposed in front, of the lens. The security camera system preferably includes a wide angle staring mode that encompasses a large field of view, where the prisms are oriented to provide no steering effect. The security camera system further includes a high-resolution zoom mode, where the telephoto lens focuses on a region of interest and the prisms perform beam steering to adjust the field of view and enable the region of interest or an object to remain at the center of the security camera system view. Image processing techniques may be employed that consider the beam steering angle and the field of view to compensate for distortion effects.

Title: Packaging arrangement
Inventor: EDWARDS RUSSELL JAMES
IPC: B65B5/04
Filed: 1995-06-08
Granted: 2011-04-19
Abstract: A method and a packaging arrangement for packaging products, such as contact lenses, in packages such as blister pack. The arrangement has a movable support base having on its upper surface a plurality of substantially identical support pallets, spaced equally apart along the movable support base. Each of the pallets is particularly designed to support and align an array of individual package bases. The support base is sequentially moved through substantially equal incremental movements, with stops between each sequential movement, such that each support pallet with an array of individual package bases thereon is sequentially stopped at spaced stations in the packaging arrangement. At a first station, a loader loads an array of package bases in the support pallet then at the first station. At a subsequent foil placement station, a placer unit places a sheet of laminated covers over the array of package bases. At a still subsequent heat sealing station, a heated seal head heat seals the laminated covers to the package bases. At a subsequent unloading station, an unloader unloads the sealed packages from the packaging arrangement for subsequent processing.

Abstract: Methods and systems relate to generating a flow of steam and splitting the flow of steam to enable both its injection into a formation to assist in oil recovery and its introduction into a pathway where the steam is used for generating electricity and capturing carbon dioxide (CO2).  At least part of the CO2 that is captured comes from burning of fuel used to generate the steam.  Steam assisted gravity drainage requires the steam that is injected to have a higher pressure than the steam that is needed for CO2 capture. Exhaust steam from a steam turbine used to generate the electricity reduces pressure of the steam prior to use of the steam for capturing CO2.
